coming up with an au were a dead character lives but shaking my head while i do it so everyone watching knows i support the role their death played in the narrative and consider it a legitimate writing choice

this is relevant to my not-quite-AU version of the “Ram derezzing in the Recognizer” scene, in which the event is interpreted not as “death” but as “climaxed so hard from the touch of User-Power that he Bethesda glitched through the Recognizer and rebooted hours later and ran off to live happily ever after in a hot threesome with Tron and Yori”

Equal parts “Horny,” “Ram deserved better,” and “The narrative purpose of the scene, in my opinion, was to underscore Kevin Flynn’s near-complete obliviousness to everything going on around him, and the reinterpretation accomplishes this more effectively than the original authorial intent”
